Report: CIA and FBI Helping Ukranian Government Quell Rebellion In East

[Igel]

36. FBI doesn't have awesome military capability.

However, a number of those arrested and detained in the East have had criminal records. And a suspicious number of attorneys general offices have been taken over. Some abandoned quickly with files destroyed.


Sometimes the cause is fairly quickly learned. Earlier today (US time, so yesterday, Ukr time) one was taken over for the purpose of disposing of the files of those that had been detained and arrested in previous weeks. In case the insurrection fails, they don't want the case files to be around. (It's like a metal plant that was sort of taken over but not quite; one of the demands was a signed statement from management that those involved in various activities not be fired. Like such a statement made under duress would amount to much.)

For good or for bad, Ukraine has a serious corruption problem. And it's highly likely that a number of those who were involved with Russia-related corruption in the East are going to support siding with Russia and not with the erstwhile anti-corruption folk in the West. If they really are all that anti-corruption.
